Add boiling water to the rava and mix it quickly with a spoon till it becomes a thick dough.

Add a tsp of oil and mix it again.

My mother who is my friend, philosopher and guide, identified the talent in me and moulded it through her encouraging words. She has got lot of talents in her, which was not recognised or nurtured properly. So the inborn artist in her,saw it in me and made me become one.

My Father, who is my guardian angel now is showering his blessings on me from the heaven. I am proud to be an Indian,and to be born in a family with rich cultural and bonding values. I am proud to be their daughter because of which I am now what I am.

Amma and Appa, How many ever births I take, I would be still indebted to you for all that you have given me in this birth. All i can give back to you is my love. I know, your blessings are always with me. I love you Ma , I love you Pa.
